Tulloch of Lybster broch

The broch has been robbed to death and cleared out, but a few stones still kick around the site, including sections of wall.

I parked outside the Forss Business and Technology Industrial Park on the grassy verge near a gate making sure I didn't block the farmer's access (see photo below) and walked first to the Tulloch of Lybster broch, then Crosskirk, then walked through the wind turbines along the coast to the Green Tullochs broch. There were plenty of gates and I didn't have any trouble gaining access to any of them.

 Disclaimer: Some brochs were built with military defensive purpose, and as such can be situated in extremely dangerous areas, such as on the edge of cliffs and ravines. Additionally, these are Iron Age structures, most of them in ruins, and they are extremely hazardous, with crumbling stone walls and hidden chambers. Existing walls, lintels, and passages could collapse at any time. The information here is provided free but it is your responsibility to ensure its accuracy, ensure your own safety, and acquire permissions for access where necessary. Accessing brochs is done entirely at your own risk.
